Now there is a
v2.065-b1 tag for dmd.
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/releases/tag/v2.065-b1
This opens a can of questions.
Who created it, why didn't anybody told me (and others) about it,
how was it decided that dmd is beta ready, what's the intent/plan
for the other repos?
Please communicate before doing non-obvious steps so that others
can learn the process too.
Should we now tag all other repos? Who is feeling responsible for
each repo, e.g. tracks that regressions are fixed and tags the
branch?
I'm making progress for automatic release building.

I still have to waste a lot of time (rebasing, workarounding...),
because nobody merges my mostly trivial installer pulls.

Still here is a snapshot release of the 2.065 branches with a few
remaining issues.
- FreeBSD has no dmd.conf
- contains a few spurious .gitignore files
Things to recheck.
- link.exe is updated to optlink 8.00.15
- OSX dmd binaries are all 64 bit
- Is the increased size only due to the added FreeBSD binaries?
- ??? help appreciated
I'm working on these but would appreciate help in the form of
monitoring the installer repo.

I remember that we found the name "beta" inappropriate during the
last release because
there are still open regressions.
Releasing a beta to helpful testers before obvious bugs are fixed
is rude because they will waste
their time to reproduce know issues.
To provide a single fix I can easily build more snapshots (takes
about 20 unattended minutes).
